Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

GraphQL Live Queries with live directive
There are even more implementations of live queries available by now. e.g. https://github.com/samsarahq/thunder (go) or https://github.com/n1ru4l/graphql-live-query (JavaScript).
- Websocket with socket.io or GraphQL subscriptions

The fastest object diff library in JavaScript
Please compare with modern competitor: json-patch-plus https://github.com/n1ru4l/graphql-live-query/blob/main/packa...

The Stack #3
Also note that subscriptions are not the only way to do real time communications in GraphQL. There are also things like Live Queries with great libraries like this from Laurin which you can use

Need guidance on apollo subscription fallback
Last but not least, I also created a GraphQL over Socket.io (https://github.com/n1ru4l/graphql-live-query/tree/main/packages/socket-io-graphql-server) transport. I am using this in two smaller apps with a maximum of 10 concurrent users and did not encounter any issues with stale data yet. Maybe this might be somethign you are looking for.

How to maintain subsription websockets with authentication, while retaining the stateless nature that an API should have?
So after having tried to answer you questions (instead of just telling you to not use WebSockets, although that wasn't your question 🙃). I also wanted to point you to a "new" way of handling real-time data with GraphQL that I am experimenting one. https://github.com/n1ru4l/graphql-live-query
-
What is the performance loss with GraphQL mutations vs sending data over websockets in real-time apps?
There will always be an overhead for sending the mutations via a Post http request vs sending them over the already established WebSocket connection. graphql-ws is not only a subscription transport but can be used for any GraphQL operation including queries and mutations. In real-time applications I tend to use my own GraphQL over Socket.io transport (https://github.com/n1ru4l/graphql-live-query/tree/main/packages/socket-io-graphql-server)

Building a RESTful API with Node.js and Express
Use tools like Postman or Insomnia to test the API endpoints and ensure they behave as expected.

Make your Azure OpenAI apps compliant with RBAC
We will be performing all of the authentication requests manually, however for testing purposes, you might want to use an API testing tool such as Postman or Insomnia.

Local automation
For a very long time, the go-to tool was curl. Great, always available command line tool. Unfortunately, there is one small issue. It’s hard to keep requests and collect them in collections, it’s great for one-time shots or debugging, but for constant working with API could be painful. To solve it, I started working with tools like Postman/Insomnia. Then eh... strange licensing model, or changes which occurred from Kong side click, definitely push me again for some lookup. After checking different very popular tools and those not such well known I decided to use… Ansible. Sounds strange right? Let me explain this decision. For example, look at this code.

Tools that Make Me Productive as a Software Engineer
At first, I used Postman for testing APIs because it had a lot of features. But I switched to Insomnia because it was easier to use and kept everything organized. The big problem with Insomnia was that it deleted all my saved work when it made me create an account to keep using it.

Different Levels of Project Documentation
Often used for cases where a project exposes a REST or other type of API service. Open API is a popular method of documenting such API services. It can also be used along side tools such as Swagger Codegen to produce boilerplate code for API interaction / testing purposes. There may also be support files for popular API testing tools such as Postman or Insomnia. This makes it easier at a glance to see what data is coming back from a call so the user knows how to handle parsing the data.

Web scraping in 10 mins
Well, there is this website that I have been trying to scrape for a few days now. I had tried everything from scrapy splash on docker to almost giving up because I read somewhere that it was JavaScript rendered. Since the source code from the inspect part of the developer tools was different from the source code from the view-source:https//... on the same developer tools.How could this be possible? Then I kept searching on internet and found this concept; where you can mimic web-browsers requests from a server using an API program,and it worked magically. Some of the API programs are postman and insomnia. I prefer using insomnia for this particular case , feel free to use any other API program of your choice.
